MINNEAPOLIS — \u2014 TJ Friedl<\/a> hit a go-ahead, three-run double in the ninth inning, Rece Hinds<\/a> added a two-run double in the 10th, and the Cincinnati Reds<\/a> rallied past the Minnesota Twins<\/a> 7-4 on Sunday for a three-game sweep.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati scored six runs over the final two innings to win its third extra-inning game this season, matching its total from 2025. The NL Central-leading Reds are 11-0 in games decided by three or fewer runs, including 6-0 in one-run games.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati trailed 3-1 entering the ninth when Spencer Steer<\/a> and Tyler Stephenson<\/a> led off with singles against Andrew Morris<\/a>. Dane Myers<\/a> walked to load the bases for Friedl, who hit a liner to right-center<\/a> that made it 4-3.<\/p>\n

Austin Martin<\/a> tied it in the bottom half with an RBI double against Emilio Pag\u00e1n (2-0), who blew a save for the second time this season.<\/p>\n

In the 10th, Eugenio Su\u00e1rez hit a grounder against Garrett Acton<\/a> (1-1) that deflected off the glove of third baseman Tristan Gray<\/a> for an error, and left fielder Martin couldn’t field the slowly rolling ball<\/a> for another error that allowed automatic runner Elly De La Cruz<\/a> to score.<\/p>\n

Hinds followed with a two-out double that gave the Reds a three-run cushion. Graham Ashcraft<\/a> worked the bottom half for his first save.<\/p>\n

Minnesota’s Victor Caratini<\/a> had a sacrifice fly in the first and an RBI single in the third.<\/p>\n

Bailey Ober<\/a> allowed one unearned run in 6 1\/3 innings for the Twins. Minnesota’s starters gave up three earned runs over 18 1\/3 innings in the series, but the Twins’ batters went 6 for 35 with runners in scoring position.<\/p>\n

Up next <\/p>\n

Reds RHP Rhett Lowder<\/a> (2-1, 3.51 ERA) takes the mound Monday at Tampa Bay, while RHP Mick Abel<\/a> (1-2, 3.98 ERA) starts Tuesday for the Twins against the host New York Mets<\/a>.<\/p>\n
